1st post updated with trade. Lee's deal is an estimate based on 8% max raises, although since it was a sign and trade and NY had his bird rights, he might be allowed 10.5% raises. Will update when deal is known.

now that's what it's suppose to look like... again bada, thanks a bunch... i knew 16 mil across the board was way off, but thanks for trying though first off

tks but keep in mind that mine is really just a guess but based on the known total contract value and what the max raises are. He COULD have received a more flat structure but based on the salaries they gave up and where they were against the cap, my guess is the contract accelerates. But again... just a GUESS

Interesting question, I'm not sure how the second round draft pick effects the equation. But I heard t last night RT, AT, and KA, add up to 9.2 million. Which I assume would mean a maximum starting first year salary of 11.5 million??

I assumed we are absorbing the extra money that our 3 players make up, ie: we have just asborbed the difference between ours 3's total and the extra that Lee has signed for...............with the small cap room we have/had............so the Knicks would have a little exception for that and we just eat it up.

for example...Monta earn 11 millions/year....and side bonus in the contract is if he can put up 1000 points in one season he will get extra money "Bonus" 5 million or something....so in this case, if that bonus consider the player salary or u dont have to count it as a salary cap....

is Bonus still consider salary and need to count as a salary cap?

Incentive bonuses DO count against the cap if they are deemed "likely to be achieved". If it is NOT likely to be achieved then it does not. They base how likely it is based on whether the player achieved it in the previous year. Since he scored 1600pts last year, a bonus like you listed WOULD be counted to the cap and added on to his $11mil salary.

but, i think there is a way to avoid salary cap....like working side job in the facility...example monta agree to get 5 millions salary as a players and then everyday he come and do some little things in the facility like "wash dishes" and W's pay him 10 millions for that...so tottally he get from W's is 15 millions but because as a player he only get 5 millions so it only count 5 millions salary cap...rightand the 10 millions is a worker pay....it just a way to avoid salary cap...heheheheheis that possible

lol. no, none of this is possible. Or at least should I say allowed. Certainly you can try to pay someone under the table but if you get caught then you get Stern's hammer!
